{"title":"Bradley, Edward aka Cuthbert Bede","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEdward Bradley (1827-1889)\u003c\/strong\u003e was an English clergyman, illustrator and novelist. He was born in Kidderminster and educated at Durham University, from which he took his pen name, Cuthbert Bede, after two of their patron saints.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor a year or so he worked in the clergy schools at Kidderminster. In 1850, he was ordained by the Bishop of Ely, Thomas Turton, and appointed to the curacy of Glatton-with-Holme in Huntingdonshire. He remained there for over four years, during which he described for the 'Illustrated London News' the extensive work of draining Whittlesey Mere.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1857, Bradley was appointed vicar of Donington in Shropshire. From 1859 to 1871, he was rector of Denton-with-Caldecote, Huntingdonshire. In 1871, he became rector of Stretton, Rutland, where he carried out a much-needed restoration of the church, at a cost of nearly £2,000. To raise the funds, he gave lectures in Midland towns, and was much in demand as an authority upon Modern Humourists, Wit and Humour and Light Literature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn December 1858 he married Harriet Amelia, youngest daughter of Samuel Hancocks of Wolverley, Worcester.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1883, on the presentation of Lord Aveland, Bradley left Stretton for the vicarage of Lenton with Hanby, near Grantham. There, as elsewhere, he was indefatigable as a parochial organiser, establishing a free library, a school bank, winter entertainments, and improvement societies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHe died, greatly regretted by all who came into contact with his kindly personality, at the vicarage, Lenton, on 12 December 1889. He left two sons, the artist Cuthbert Bradley and the Rev. Henry Waldron Bradley.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"glencreggan-1861-edward-bradley-aka-cuthbert-bede-1827-1889-7-images","title":"Glencreggan 1861 - Edward Bradley aka Cuthbert Bede (1827-1889) - 7 images","description":"\u003cp\u003eGlencreggan, or 'A Highland Home in Cantire' is a book about 'the Land's End' of Scotland, for such is the English meaning of the Gaelic word Cantire, Ceantire, which is the southern part of the county of Argyle, and is a peninsula only twelve miles from Ireland, washed by the Atlantic, and flanked by the Isles of Arran and the southern Hebrides (now Kintyre, made famous by Paul's McCartney's 'Wings').\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis download features 7 hi-res images, in jpeg format, that are all 300dpi and range in size from 1504 pixels wide\/tall to 2552 pixels wide\/tall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pictures are out of copyright and in the public domain, so you are free to use them in whatever way you’d like, including commercial use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRead more here \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/publicdomainimagelibrary.com\/collections\/bede-cuthbert-aka-edward-bradley\" title=\"Edward Bradley aka Cuthbert Bede\"\u003eEdward Bradley aka Cuthbert Bede\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Digital Download - 7 images","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50069580448074,"sku":"","price":1.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0776\/7965\/7290\/files\/Bradley_E._1827-1889_-Glencreggan1861-GlenbarrAbbey_Cantire.jpg?v=1747054750"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0776\/7965\/7290\/collections\/CB-617662.jpg?v=1743601262","url":"https:\/\/www.publicdomainimagelibrary.com\/collections\/bede-cuthbert-aka-edward-bradley.oembed","provider":"Public Domain Image Library","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
